menacing glare saying nothing. - Er.

A party from this county who re-
Gently visited Israel Erb, in the East
ern Penitentiary, state that the old
gentleman looks quite well, and en-
joys the freedom OF the yard during
the day-assisting in doing work In
the various departments. When ask
ed how he was getting along he said
that he had nothing to complain OF,
but thought that it was about time
for the people OF Snyder county to
petition him out. From this we would
infer that he still lives on hope, illus
trating the lines Of Pope:
"Hope springs eternal In the human breast,
Man never Is, but always TO be blessed"
